Sermersooq

Sermersooq extends over 531,900 square kilometers, encompassing both the eastern and western coasts of Greenland with numerous fjords and mountainous regions.

The municipality emerged in 2009 through the consolidation of five former administrative districts, marking a significant change in Greenland's territorial management.

Inhabitants of Sermersooq communicate in Kalaallisut and Danish languages while maintaining traditional hunting and fishing practices alongside modern urban lifestyles.

Transportation between settlements relies on Air Greenland's scheduled flights connecting Nuuk airport with Kulusuk and Nerlerit Inaat throughout the year.

The municipality contains Nuuk, Greenland's capital city, while stretching across the island from the ice-covered east coast to the more populated western shore.
